I see. With my upstream hat on, I don't feel very comfortable with the
patch in its current form -- do you intend to send it to the Okular
developers?

Do you all think it makes sense to contact the cups-base maintainer to
see if it's possible to add a lpr.cups or lpr-cups symlink? That way
Okular wouldn't need to be patched at all.
